In 2017, former PM Trudeau said "No country would find 173 billion barrels of oil and just leave it in the ground." In 2025, after yet another COP farce, our new PM is exposed as another climate hypocrite. It's official: Canada is all in with the other petrostates.💔 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

What should Canada do about oil to America when a bully upends trade norms & threatens annexation? Insane, but as biosphere collapse and climate breakdown speed up, we're going to hand-wring over dirty crude. The "norms" were and are, ecocidal. But here we are. #elbowsup www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Knock-on effects of all wars, including the Trump trade war, will accelerate biosphere breakdown. The panicky national solutions proposed because of dumb tariffs are backsliding insanity: China, more consumption - Canada, more interprovincial oil pipelines - the U.S., chop more forests. More = BAD.

Impossible not to repeat watch the Trump disaster meeting. I hope everyone caught the moment he gave Zelensky a push on the shoulder. A head of state from a country where brave people are dying daily, gets physically bullied by a draft dodger. It was intimidation - but it backfired spectacularly.

Video shame from the White House - the disgraceful attempt by an American President and his VP to bully a head of state because he won't bend the knee. It's got to be hard for decent Americans to watch. Well, the Trump-Musk neo-Axis isn't going to bully Canada, we've never been this united.

Agree. The future looks like Hemingway reversed - first "suddenly" disasters overwhelm much of the world, then "slowly" mega-events finish things off. Also, it seems like there's suspiciously more reassurance climate reporting lately, no matter the scenario. Why? Everybody chill while we cook.
